BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to a waist bag, and more particularly, theinvention relates to a waist bag which could enable a user to movefreely and could be engaged with other items.

2. Description of Related Art

As the change of lifestyle and the popularity of leisure activities,there is increased a need for receptacles to carry personal items.Because of the advantages of storing items and enabling the user to movefreely, the waist bag becomes more and more popular.

Conventional waist bags are usually worn by users with waist belts toprovide the users storage space in the bag bodies for carrying personalitems. However, at present, the configuration of the waist bag simplyprovides the function of a waist bag, and does not include otherpractical benefits, whereby resulting in inconvenience and difficulty onits application.

When the user needs a larger space to store his luggage and also needs abag to store some smaller personal items, such as coins and papertissue, which enables him to take them out conveniently at anytime, theuser usually has to carry a backpack and a waist bag at the same time.It is not ideal for modern people who emphasize the exterior figuration.Moreover, a larger backpack is prone to squeeze the waist bag whichresults in the inconvenience of taking the items out of the waist bag.

To solve the problem mentioned above, some manufacturers tried toincrease the length of the waist bag to make an exterior surfaceunderneath the belt loop of the waist bag being able to be mounted witha hook fastener, thereby enabling the waist bag to be engaged with theloop fastener on the backpack to retain the advantage of taking theitems out of the waist bag conveniently. However, wearing a waist baghaving an overlong length via a waist belt would influence the movementof the user and conflict with the motivation of facilitating the user'smovement on using the waist bag. It is no doubt a design taking thebranch for the root.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of this, the goal of the present invention is to provide a waistbag, which could enable a user to move freely, and could be engaged withother items.

To achieve the goal mentioned above, the present invention provides awaist bag, including a bag body, a flap and at least one belt loop.Wherein, the bag body includes an exterior surface and a hook fasteneror a loop fastener which is mounted on the exterior surface. The flapincludes a base part and a free part, wherein the base part is disposedon the exterior surface of the bag body, and the free part could belifted up corresponding to the bag body; the free part has a firstsurface and a second surface which are opposite to each other; the firstsurface is mounted with a loop fastener or a hook fastener to be engagedwith the hook fastener or loop fastener of the bag body; eachcorresponding one of the hook fastener and the loop fastener of the freepart and the bag body are engaged with each other when the free part isat a first position. The at least one belt loop includes a first fixedpart and a second fixed part, wherein the first fixed part is fixed tothe exterior surface of the bag body, and the second fixed part is fixedto the second surface of the flap. The belt loop connects to the bagbody and the flap to constitute a pass-through space.

The advantage of the present invention is that by positioning a loopfastener or a hook fastener on a free part which could be lifted upcorresponding to the bag body, the waist bag could be engaged with ahook fastener or a loop fastener disposed on other items, such as abackpack, without increasing the length of the waist bag and still couldhave a compact size. Consequently, the user could still move freelyafter wearing the waist bag with the waist belt, and the waist bag couldalso be engaged with other items as well. Moreover, the hook fastenercould be hidden when the free part is not lifted up, thereby preventingthe hook fastener from sticking clothing and damaging the surface.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a waist bag of a preferred embodimentaccording to the present invention; and

FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the waist bag of the preferredembodiment according to the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following illustrative embodiments and drawings are provided toillustrate the disclosure of the present invention, these and otheradvantages and effects can be clearly understood by persons skilled inthe art after reading the disclosure of this specification. As shown inFIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a waist bag 100 of a preferred embodiment accordingto the present invention includes a bag body 10, a flap 20, and at leastone belt loop 30.

The bag body 10 is adapted to carry items. The bag body 10 has anexterior surface 10 a mounted with a loop fastener 11 thereon. The loopfastener 11 is located adjacent to a lower portion of the exteriorsurface 10 a.

The flap 20 includes a base part 22 and a free part 24 which areconnected with each other, wherein the base part 22 is disposed on theexterior surface 10 a of the bag body 10, and the free part 24 iscontrollable to be opened corresponding to the bag body 10, and movedbetween a first position P1, as shown in FIG. 1, and a second positionP2, as shown in FIG. 2.

The free part 24 includes a first surface 24 a and a second surface 24 bwhich are opposite to each other, wherein the first surface 24 a ismounted with a hook fastener 26 to be engaged with the loop fastener 11of the bag body 10. As shown in FIG. 1, when the free part 24 is at thefirst position P1, the hook fastener 26 on the free part 24 is engagedwith the loop fastener 11 of the bag body 10 to keep the free part 24 beat the first position P1. As shown in FIG. 2, the hook fastener 26 onthe free part 24 is detached from the loop fastener 11 of the bag body10 when the free part 24 is at the second position P2.

In this embodiment, the waist bag 100 includes two belt loops 30. Eachof the two belt loops 30 has a first fixed part 32 and a second fixedpart 34 opposite to the first fixed part 32, wherein the first fixedpart 32 is fixed to an upper portion of the exterior surface 10 a of thebag body 10, and the second fixed part 34 is fixed to the second surface24 b of the free part 24.

When the free part 24 of the flap 20 is at the first position P1, one ofthe belt loops 30 and the bag body 10 form a first space S1, and theother of the belt loops 30 and the flap 20 form a second space S2. Thefirst space 51 and the second space S2 constitute a pass-through spaceto enable a waist belt (not shown) to pass through, so that a user couldcarry the waist bag 100 conveniently by wearing the waist belt. Inanother example, when the user carries a backpack or a handbag, which ismounted with a loop fastener (not shown) to be engaged with the hookfastener 26 on the free part 24, the user could fix the waist bag 100 tothe backpack or handbag by means of lifting up the free part 24 of theflap 20 to the second position P2 to enable the hook fastener 26 on thefree part 24 to be engaged with the loop fastener on the backpack orhandbag.

According to the design mentioned above, by positioning the second fixedpart 34 of the belt loop 30 and the hook fastener 26 to be engaged withthe loop fastener on the backpack or handbag on the two oppositesurfaces of the free part 24 of the flap 20, it could provide practicalbenefits without increasing an exterior surface area 10 a of the bagbody 10, and still could have a compact size, whereby the user couldstill move freely after wearing the waist bag 100 with the waist belt,and the uncomfortableness or limitation caused by the conventional waistbag having an overlong length is avoided. Moreover, the hook fastener 26could be hidden when the free part 24 is not lifted up, therebypreventing the hook fastener 26 from sticking clothing and damaging thesurface.

The method for arranging the hook fastener and the loop fastener of thewaist bag 100 and the backpack or handbag is not limited to the methodillustrated in the above description. Alternatively, the hook fastenercould be disposed on the bag body 10, while the loop fastener could bedisposed on the flap 20 of the waist bag 100 to keep the free part 24 ofthe flap 20 at the first position P1 without influencing the function ofwearing the waist bag 100 with the waist belt. Similarly, either a hookfastener or a loop fastener could be disposed on the backpack orhandbag, and the waist bag 100 could still be engaged with thecorresponding loop fastener or hook fastener.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the two belt loops 30 are constituted by afixed strap 40, however, it is not limited thereto. The fixed strap 40is a long strip, wherein each of two ends of the fixed strap 40constitutes a belt loop 30 respectively, and a portion of the fixedstrap 40 between the two belt loops 30 constitutes a handle 41, which isadapted to be held by the user. Hence, except the function of the waistbag 100 for being worn with the waist belt and being fixed to thebackpack or handbag, the waist bag 100 still could be utilized as a handcarrier bag so as to provide a wider range of application.
